I've never bought one, I've downloaded a few apps onto my phone that I've messed around with in my first pregnancy. Some apps require you to buy an attachment which is a bit cheaper then buying an actual Doppler. I had success with an app that just used the speaker of my phone - but I was pretty far along when I was able to hear it.

I ordered one with my last pregnancy but never got to use it because that ended in a loss. I'm hoping this time I'll finally be able to use it. I'm not going to try til 10-12 weeks cuz I don't want to be disappointed if I can't find it.

I bought one for my last pregnancy for reassurance after having 2 miscarriages. It turned out to be the best investment because my water broke at almost 21 weeks and I was on expectant management at home for a couple weeks and it reassured me everything was going well with my baby girl until I ended up going into labor at almost 23 weeks and lost her.

I have one and love it. I lost my first baby at 9 weeks, so I bought the Doppler with my second pregnancy. It allowed me to know my baby was still alive. I used it all the time until I could start feeling my son move, then I didn't really need it anymore. My son is now almost 2. I'm looking forward to using it again with this baby but I'm not even gonna try til around 10 weeks or so...
